The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) presents strong potential to mold regional trade and investment patterns well into the future and to influence the direction of global economic cooperation at a challenging time. This paper evaluates the RCEP’s impact on global and regional incomes, trade, economic structure, factor returns, and employment using a computable general equilibrium model. The results suggest that the RCEP agreement could generate sizable global income gains. Together with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement on Trans-Pacific Partnership, the RCEP will also strengthen the region’s manufacturing supply chains, raising productivity and increasing wages and employment.

A tanulmány célja a közelmúltban aláírt Regionális Átfogó Gazdasági Partnerség- (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership – RCEP) egyezmény bemutatása és elemzése. A tágan értelmezett előzmények között röviden ismerteti a Transzatlanti Kereskedelmi és Befektetési Partnerség (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership – TTIP), a Transz-csendes-óceáni Partnerség (Trans-Pacific Partnership – TPP) és az Átfogó és Előremutató Csendes-óceáni Partnerség (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership – CPTPP) létrejöttének körülményeit is. Ezek a törekvések elválaszthatatlanok attól a ténytől, hogy a Kereskedelmi Világszervezet (World Trade Organization – WTO) 1995. évi megalapítása óta képtelen volt bármilyen fontos sokoldalú megállapodás elérésére, a Vitarendezési Testület tagjainak elmaradt jelölése következtében immár teljesen működésképtelenné vált. Az RCEP (a CPTPP-vel együtt) Ázsia és a csendes-óceáni térség további felértékelődését, ugyanakkor az USA befolyásának gyengülését jelzi a régióban.

A relevance of research is recent trend in regrouping forces in the global financial arena with transregional unions based on fictive capital’ expansion. The objective of this research is revisal of transregional integration conditions by the analysis of modern geopolitical aims of the world financial system’s leaders and also it is practical recommendations forming to prevent the Russian economy trapping by the fictive capital of transregional unions. It has been shown that the global finance circulation model is drastically changing - trade and economic unions like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are aimed at forming the markets for goods, works and services produced in countries, which have been proclaimed as the world financial centres. That politics doesn’t allow to develop industry and it arrive to financial bubbles at branches of economy, which are cooperated with transregional financial flows. For the leaders of transregional groups, it’s a way to solve geopolitical problems with financial methods shifting responsibility for their mistakes in industrial policy. There are significant features of the east and west leaders dominance in transregional unions in the article. These are respectively hub infrastructure dependence and currency speculations. The conclusion is it should be formed a secured non-speculative currency in transregional union for geopolitical dependence eliminate. Besides the only reason for infrastructure international project realize could be an economic efficiency. These conclusions are very important for the modern stage of the globalization.


Significance Most of ASEAN’s dialogue partners will be present at the talks in Bangkok. High on the agenda will be attempts to conclude negotiations over the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a projected free trade agreement (FTA) involving the ten ASEAN members and six dialogue partners with which the South-east Asian regional bloc has existing FTAs. Impacts ASEAN and China may announce progress on talks over a second draft of the South China Sea Code of Conduct, although this remains distant. Malaysia could renew calls for ASEAN to pressure Myanmar over the Rohingya crisis, testing the regional bloc’s unity. ASEAN members will likely adopt guidelines for cooperating on regulation of the digital economy and social media.

This paper examines the recent emergence of mega–free trade agreements, namely, the Asian-centric Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. In a comparative context it discusses the rationale for their emergence; their distinctive membership features, objectives, and negotiating agendas; their quantifiable benefits and dissenting voices; issues and challenges; and likely outcomes. Aspirations for “high standards” are unlikely to be met because their negotiating timelines are repeatedly missed as negotiators struggle with political, diplomatic, commercial, economic, regulatory, and technical issues. Although negotiations appear relatively simple at the outset, their complex and daunting hurdles will ultimately limit their impact on the world trading system.

This paper makes use of two trade indicators, Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Regional Orientation (RO), to evaluate the economic impacts of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (The) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) on Vietnamese commodities at the Harmonized System (HS) 2-digit level. Several sectors in which Vietnam has revealed a comparative advantage, has benefited from the AFTA, and would continue to enjoy trade creation from the RCEP, are: Cereals (10), Salt, sulphur, earth, stone, plaster, lime and cement (25), Rubber (40), Knitted or crocheted fabric (60), etc. More importantly, the result provides a list of commodities in which Vietnam has a comparative advantage and only experiences trade creation when participating in the RCEP. These are: Milling products, malt, starches, inulin, wheat gluten (11), Vegetable plaiting materials, vegetable products not elsewhere specified (14), Wood and articles of wood, wood charcoal (44), etc. Findings also show commodities in which Vietnam has a comparative advantage; but are not well positioned in the RCEP market yet, e.g. Cereal, flour, starch, milk preparations and products (19) and Manmade staple fibres (55). If sufficient investment decisions and marketing strategies are applied to these commodities, they will well penetrate the RCEP market and bring trade creation and welfare improvement to Vietnam. Public and private investment should consider the above-mentioned commodities as targets to leapfrog the benefits of RCEP.

Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a cooperation framework formulated by ASEAN and 6 strategic partner countries and is the first proposal in ASEAN history to discuss comprehensive economic cooperation. RCEP is ASEAN's effort to strengthen its position as regional aktor in the Southeast Asian. RCEP negotiations underwent changes during India's decision to withdraw from the RCEP negotiations, which prompted ASEAN to respond to these developments. This study fokuses on response taken by ASEAN to India's decision to withdraw from the RCEP negotiations. The concept used is soft regionalism which emphasizes geographic proximity, historical relations and the comparative advantage of the region. Soft regionalism is driven by not only by economic and business interests, but also market interests that become the energy of soft regionalism in Asia. This concept is functioning well because it conforms to the pragmatic Asian political conditions. The findings of this study is that ASEAN cannot be separated from the concept of soft regionalism in which it has been running, and still sees all changes through static point of view. ASEAN needs to make new breakthroughs in realizing comprehensive cooperation in the region.
